Risks (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
I would agree with you. I did anticipate that the previous question would take up time. Indeed our Members were choreographed to take up time on it, which would have meant I would have been here, Chair, so I will have to expel them later! I am very grateful for the reply and I think I did catch its basic contents. I think we all welcome your commitment to legacy although, of course, you will be long gone in this capacity by the time we really discover whether there was a legacy. Do you think there is a tension between...

I was very pleased to hear you mention that one of LOCOG's legacies will be in 2020 to look back and see what the legacy was. How are you measuring the legacy in terms of the increase in participatory sport?

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
One of the parts of this question is about reputational risk and, Seb, in your speech when you secured the Games - I think one of the high points - was you talking about the legacy for young people in sport. One former Olympian said to me a few days ago that he was rather worried he did not see enough progress going on in this regard in setting things up for young people to secure the legacy. He said there was far too much talking and far too many scoping studies going on but not any real activity. What...

Sorry to interrupt. I appreciate this. What I am trying to get at here is this is a legacy not only for London but the UK Olympic Games. It seems rather crude that we are having to rely upon external sponsorship that may have its own kickbacks where we do not have direct funding from our Government on an education programme that I think is crucial to leave any purposeful legislation --

Catering at Games' Venues (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
Again, I am very happy to see you around. The question is on your policy and strategy about promoting fair trade products and that is right across the board, not only food and drink, but other products, sporting or otherwise?

  • Question by: Richard Barnes
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?

Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Victoria Borwick
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
A couple of quick questions if I may. Could you just confirm that the vehicles operating on the Olympic Route Network will all be disability compliant? The next question is perhaps you could update us on the blue light services and what planning you will make to make sure that they adjust their route planning models because we know there is a limited amount of time and they need to get themselves organised? The final question is when would you reveal which of the ORN roads have exclusive Olympic lanes?

Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
It sees a bit old fashioned to rely on the road network when we are putting in this fantastic public transport option. They cannot all be carrying gold medals! They cannot all need protection. Why can you not just say to the IOC that, actually, it is much more efficient to go by public transport, and not pollute east London further?

Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
OK. The other thing around the ORN would be if you can confirm the discussions that you are having with local authorities about the enforcement regime. Will that be handed over to LOCOG or will the lead on the enforcement of the ORN rest with local authorities?

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
The Mayor, of course, has an aspiration that, wherever possible, the officials should use public transport. Now the media are in Bloomsbury, I believe, near the bullet train, so will they use that? Many of the officials will be close to the Central line. Will they use that?
